1975

My brother and I got most of the Batman stuff on the upper left for Christmas 1975!   I was just looking through my 1975 Sear's Wish book catalog again!

Mego on ME TV's COLLECTOR'S CALL

Last year Whelchel became a collectible herself with the resurrection of the legendary 1970’s toy company Mego, famed for its licensed action figures, which have since become very collectible. One of the first toys the company distributed was a Blair “action figure.”

“I didn't know about Mego till we covered a collector on the show who collected ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s memorabilia from TV shows,” she shared. “We filmed it before the Blair doll came out.” When Blair appeared on store shelves, “I was like, 'Oh my goodness, I know this company and I am in the same company as superheroes!’ That's kind of cool, and while it doesn't look like me at all, it doesn't matter. It has the uniform, name and hair, so for me it wasn't about that. It was just the thrill and privilege of having a character figure and that feels great!”

My brother Chris and I getting Action Jackson figures from Santa Claus at an Alsip Police Department Christmas party at Reno Corsi's in Alsip, many years back. I remember that shirt. We both got the re-issues of that figure recently. I was assisting with photos for the producers of our new TV show today and remembered to scan these. #christmas #actionjackson #alsipolicesepartment

Action Jackson is back!

 

We got these one Christmas in the 1970s at an Alsip Police Christmas party!  We loved these figures!

I just came across some pictures from our BAT Christmas 1973...I received the removable cowl Batman that year..

 My friend Jimmy Sullivan had the removable mask Dynamic Duo, the Summer or Fall before this Christmas and that is how I became aware of them.
